NY Post Says GTA Worse Than Molesting

wiredbeat2000 writes "The New York Post has an inflammatory article which argues that Take Two's Grand Theft Auto is worse than child molestation and more harmful than second hand smoke. The story, which appears in the business section, calls for an outright ban of video games it claims are no better than snuff films, and concludes: 'Stay away from this [Take Two] stock - far, far away - and you'll be doing both your wallet and your fellow man a favor'." Lucky the author hasn't checked out Manhunt yet, huh?

    Nevermind that our non-elected, paid his way into the presidency, dipshit of a leader sends 1000's to their deaths so he can keep control of the worlds oil. Yeah, way to use your voice NYT's reporter. Report on the stuff that really matters, good job. Jackass

    While I applaud you for taking action on this blasphemous article, I would like to offer a small piece of advice for future responses to things like this.

    These journalists receive TONS of email each day. Thus, they tend not to read a lot of it. If you would like to have your letter be looked at with more consideration, I would advise you to write with proper capitalization. Its a very minor suggestion, but it makes your writing look more professional, and less like a hastily written flame.
